Descrizione
### Describe the bug
While a response is streaming, inline Markdown links inside tables cause repeated table re-layout and visually disruptive jumping.
For a Markdown link such as `[foo](https://very-long-url...)` inside a table, the URL arrives character by character. Each character appears to trigger another table layout/render pass using the incomplete raw Markdown. The columns continuously resize and wrap; once the closing `)` arrives, the whole link collapses to its visible text (`foo`) and the table jumps again.
This makes tables containing several long links very slow and visually unstable even though the final rendered table may look correct.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.77.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Start GitHub Copilot CLI in interactive mode.
2. Enter this prompt:
> Render a Markdown table with several rows. Each row must contain an inline Markdown link whose destination URL is at least 150 characters long.
3. Watch the table while the response streams.
4. Observe columns repeatedly resizing and wrapping while each link destination arrives.
5. Observe another layout jump when each completed link collapses to its visible text.
### Expected behavior
Streaming incomplete Markdown should not cause a full table re-layout on every character. Table columns should remain visually stable while link destinations stream, then render using the visible link text when complete.
### Additional context
- OS: macOS 26.5.2
- CPU architecture: arm64
- Shell: zsh
- Video: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/98bc24df-27e5-47f6-aab2-345dd3e995e2
The video uses a trivial example. The effect becomes much more disruptive with additional columns and rows. The demo also rendered unusually quickly; normal rendering is approximately 0.3-0.5 times this speed.

Inizia nel percorso di rendering delle tabelle Markdown in streaming di interactive-mode e riproduci il problema con link inline lunghi in diverse righe della tabella. Traccia i passaggi di layout ripetuti man mano che arrivano i caratteri dell’URL; il lavoro è completato quando i link incompleti non attivano più riorganizzazioni complete e di disturbo della tabella, mentre i link completati vengono renderizzati usando il testo visibile.
